Today,
I decided to Google quotes from one of my favorite singers (the lead singer and
rhythm guitarist of All Time Low, Alex Gaskarth) on the subject of suicide
because I wanted to verify I quote I found by him on tumblr. Expecting to see
random things about the bands song “Lullabies,” (which is about his older brother,
Tom, who did commit suicide) I did not. I saw tumblr posts on rants about
Directioners. Considering I am not a fan of One Direction at all, I decided why
not find another reason to hate them. And boy, do I hate them now!
I knew
that Alex tweeted something bad about a One Direction song, and I agree with it
completely and so do many online websites. But like always, super fans of teen
sensations take things TOO far just
like they did with the Drake Bell and Justin Bieber thing. Something was
tweeted that definitely shouldn’t have been. People started sending Alex death
threats just like Beliebers with Drake, but they stepped over the line.
They
told Alex to kill himself.
Being a
Hustler (All Time Low fan) and someone who has had a dark time in their life
where they saw that as an option, I found that not only offensive but one of
the meanest things someone can say to someone. But what made my blood boil was
people bringing his brother into this. One tweet stated “NO WONDER HE KILLED
HIMSELF, HE HATED ALEX TOO.” Pardon my French but that just person needs to
shut the hell up! Alex’s brother did not kill himself because he hated Alex and
saying that is not only mean and cruel and only shows your character as an ignorant
idiot. I get it; you don’t like how he dissed your precious One Direction. Just
wishing death upon him is crossing the line, but telling him to kill himself
like his brother and telling him his brother did it because he hated Alex, that
crosses the line so much it’s just a dot in the distance that can barely be
seen. Seriously? Saying something like that. Not only is suicide something you
don’t even joke about, but telling someone who had nothing to do with it they
caused it, that is unacceptable.
So
hopefully people can report or just tell this person how stupid and insensitive
they are. Here are some screen shots of the mean and ignorant tweets on Alex
about killing himself and his brother who did.
To twitter
user @onelove1dc, I would like to correct a tweet; you state that Alex is “mad”
because he doesn’t have a world tour. As I recall, All Time Low has toured all
over the world, and I am quoting Alex when I saw “we have been too all the
continents except for Africa and Antarctica.” All Time Low has been all over,
they have five albums, The Party Scene, So Wrong, Its Right, Nothing Personal
(My personal favorite), Dirty Work, and Don’t Panic. All great albums,
(although Dirty Work wasn’t the best music wise, but was excellent lyric wise,
oh, and I Feel Like Dancin’ was a Satire song, not them conforming to society’s
norm of tasteless music about nothing). All Time Low has accomplished a lot in
their near ten years as a band. They may not have had any number one hits on
the radio but there music is amazing and I would much rather them be where they
are then as big as One Direction. Most number one hit makers who are adored by
billions get two full of themselves and are brats not to mention let the fame go
to their head! After touring the world last year, the day after they got back,
drummer Rian Dawson helped his parents remodel their kitchen. Instead of
sleeping all day and being a lazy bum like me when there is no school, he
helped his parents remodel their kitchen. How I know this, he tweeted about it.
Why did he do it? Because he is well grounded. (Not grounded in trouble, but he
knows that he isn’t larger than life, he is a well-rounded person who doesn’t
let the hundreds of bras being thrown on stage get to his head). All Time low
is amazing and the fact that someone would say something like that to Alex is
just so wrong and bringing his brother into it is just cruel. Never speak ill
of the dead and don’t tell someone that a loved one killing themselves is their
fault.
Proof All Time Low is Awesome:
Proof All Time Low is Awesome:
Guess
what I found out after learning Directioners wish that to Alex Gaskarth, but
they wish it to Kenadee Lucker to kill herself also. Kenadee Lucker? She is the
daughter metal band Suicide Silence’s lead singer, Mitch Lucker’s daughter. She
is only five years old. Yes, Directioner’s are wishing for a five year old girl
to kill herself. Don’t believe me? Here are a few screen shots of them wishing
death upon Kenadee and saying mean things about Mitch and the band.
Yeah, people said those things. So go find them on twitter
and report them, or harass them, I know it’s not being the bigger person in the
situation, but hey, I will do that when someone wishes death on a five year old
because she is sad her dad died.
Also, I would like to touch the subject on how metal music
is “stupid.” If you think that is, then good for you, now please run along and
find something productive to do! Now here is a little shout out to user
@IDslayz, grow the hell up and get a life. Stop saying “emo people” should
learn from Mitch Lucker and go kill ourselves. I am going to quote Andy
Biersack of Black Veil Brides when I say that, “don't allow them to call you
emo or whatever else, those things don't exist, that’s the term of a guy who
trolls message boards." Yes, Emo is the term of a guy who not only trolls
message boards, but apparently twitter too. Suicide Silence was and is an
amazing band and Mitch was a very amazing vocalist. Now onto your next tweets,
“if people cared about suicidal silence, I would of heard of him.” Obviously
people care about him and their music and think their awesome or else they wouldn’t
be famous and touring a lot. “how was Mitch Lucker an inspiration, he cut
himself, plus he was ugly.” He was an inspiration because he has inspired
people in the music industry, every artist has an inspiration. He was one to
many bands and people wanting to be like them and have a similar sound and
success. As for cutting, I would love it if you would educate yourself on the
subject before making a comment; I am not going to respond to someone so
ignorant on the subject. As for ugly, he wasn’t. he was good looking. You just
obviously are attracted to scrawny British boys who can’t sing that well and
only have somewhat of a decent song. Next tweet, no they did not win 4 VMA’s. Awards
don’t mean you are the best band out there, some of the best bands don’t have
many awards, but just great music, take Rise Against for example, they haven’t
won many, but Tim McIlarth has an amazing voice and is backed up with the rest of
Rise Against, they have won two awards but have been nominated for six. They are
still successful and have obviously made a lot of money since they are still
around. next tweet, “It’s not my fault Mitch Lucker died, he should have made
better music, he was obviously jealous of One Direction success.” Suicide
Silence has over two million Facebook fans and have been around for ten years,
One Direction has been around for like two. I highly doubt they even have heard
of One Direction and if so, it was because Mitch’s daughter. Next tweet by you.
“did mitch lucker cut his emo wrist? Is that how he died? Lol” I stated
earlier I am not going to waste my time telling an ignorant person the reason
for cutting, so Google it and listen to someone who has been there and done
that when they explain it. and suicide is nothing to joke about and be happy
for. Next tweet. “people need to open their eyes and realize that One Direction
are the best, even better then suicidal silence.” First off, its SUICIDE
Silence, not Suicidal Silence. Second, there are many, many other bands and
singers that are better than them; here I will name a few

And again, those are just off the top of my head.
Next tweet, “I've never hear suicidal silence with a hit
song, they never make any because they suck!” here is a list of their hits, “Unanswered,”
“Bludgeoned to Death,” “The Price of Beauty,” “Green Monster,” “Wake Up,” “Disengage,”
“Time To Bleed,” “Human Violence,” “You Only Live Once” (The better YOLO) and “Slaves
To Substance.”
Now, I am going to respond to tweets about his adorable, now
fatherless, daughter Kenadee. “Kenadee should been aborted.” Nice grammer. The smart-ass
me would respond “you should have been aborted” but I am not going to stoop to
someone’s level like that. wishing someone dead, again only people with no
morals do that. “Mitch Lucker, please come back to us.,..SO YOU CAN DIE AGAIN”
again, very classy. “Kenadee, please do me a favor and DIE” being happy with
someone’s death is one thing, but wishing death upon their five year old daughter?
That again, crosses the line so far that it again is just a dot in the
distance. You don’t wish death upon five year old girls! So please, go spam up
@claraxOlivia. Let them know how you feel when death threats are being sent to
fie year old girls.
This next person is apparently a “selenationer” (Selena
Homez fan) and she goes by the user @iZarryBrat. Yes, you are brat for tweeting
“if kenadee lucker misses mitch so much, cant she just kill herself and stop
whining?” how classy. Yes, of course a five year old girl is going to miss her
dad when he dies unexpectedly in a motercyle accident. Telling her to kill
herself is yet again, crossing the line so far that it’s a dot in the distance.
No, it’s not even a dot in the distance, its miles and miles away. What kind of
sick person wishes for a five year old to kill herself? So please, go find her
and spam her. it would bring me great pleasure. Seriously.
Why is it that Dircetioner’s are doing this to people? Wishing
death and suicide on people who don’t deserve it, one being a suicide victim’s
brother and the other being a five year old girl. Why is it that our generation
is even stooping so low. First Belieber’s go after Drake Bell, now Directioner’s
after Alex Gaskarth and a five year old
girl.
People claim that listening to metal music is “dangerous”
and “evil” yet I don’t send artist’s death threats for not agreeing with my opinion,
neither do my other friends who listen to that genre. Why do the Beliebers and
Directioners take this too far and not get in trouble? There are twelve year
olds out there telling people to commit suicide all to defend their “precious”
British boy band.
Grow up. Seriously, grow the hell up and learn to respect
people and don’t send death threats and death upon people and telling them to
kill themselves.
Alex Gaskarth is an amazing singer and guitarist. He didn’t deserve
any of that for an opinion and his dead brother didn’t need to be brought into
it. Alex is amazing and inspiration to many and so is his music which has saved
countless lives including mine. The bands sarcastic attitudes and love for
their fans and love for fun is amazing and what makes them special.
Kenadee Lucker is an innocent bystander in this and the fact
that someone told her to kill herself is unacceptable. She is five years old
and just lost her dad. The fact that someone would do that just boggles my
mind. People need to have souls and realize when they are being cruel and you
really should go learn how to be a decent human being and until then, refrain
from using social networking and maybe tape your mouth shut.
I really hope this generation can get its crap together and
stop being cruel to people and doing that. One can only hope that Directioner’s
and Belieber’s can grow the hell up and become decent human beings.
